The Jets improved their NFL Draft positioning at least.
The loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11 did have one benefit for the New York Jets. The team improved its positioning in the 2025 NFL Draft. With the defeat, the Jets moved up to the 7th slot.
- Jacksonville 2-9
- Tennessee 2-8
- Cleveland 2-8
- Las Vegas 2-8
- NY Giants 2-8
- New England 3-8
- NY Jets 3-8
- Carolina 3-7
- Dallas 3-6
- New Orelans 4-7
- Cincinnati 4-7
- Miami 4-6
- Tampa Bay 4-6
- Chicago 4-6
- Indianapolis 5-6
- Seattle 5-5
- LA Rams 5-5
- San Francisco 5-5
Picks 19 through 32 are determined by the results of the NFL Playoffs.
The Jets are tied with the Patriots at 3-8, but according to Tankathon the Patriots win the tiebreaker by virtue of an easier schedule.
Of course there will be plenty of chances for the Jets to lose additional games to improve their Draft positioning in the future. Those will need to wait, however, as the Jets head into their bye week.
